LONDOA, FRIDAY, JUNE 4 29, 1810. , We have received some more American Papers, from which we have made extra as. The Ameri cans seem to be rather alarmed at a report which ha s retched them, that the Junta of Spain have deter- mined to cede East Florida to Great Britain, and, their unea,iiness upon this subject is not diminished by the opinion which they entertain, that if Florida does not tall into the hands of Great Britain, it will into those of France. It is said that a conside►able tiumber of French.Etuissaries have passed through the United States into Florida. An American Gentlemap arrived in town yester day from Dunkirk, which place he left on Wednes day morning. He brings no news of any import ance, except that the French Government is pro ceeding vvi!t i the utmost rigour against the Ameri cans. Upwards of 200 American ships have been seized, and the property confiscated is valued at more than torty millions of dollars, and yet the American Government is satisfied with making gentle remon- strance.s:i The failure of BUONAPARTE in his attempts to in jure the trade of this country, appears to have en raged him beyond all bounds. lie no longer treats his allies even with the common forms of de cency. Hitherto he has been content to call upon them to sacrifice their own interest, by re stricting their trade with Great Britain ; but he now takes the management of the whole business into his own hands, and sends his Consuls into in dependent States, to regulate their commercial af fairs fur them. The last letters Irom the Continent state, that a French Consul had arrived at Konigs berg, and there is very little doubt . but that they will be sent to every port in the Baltic.' • We yesterday eontradided the report respealing the Expedition under ; Sir :EDWARD PLLLEW, and stated, that it had no foundation whatsoever. One of the Morning Papers, in which the report was mentioned, says to-day, that the Expedition was in contemplation, but that it was given up. W e can positively assure our Readers that the fart is not so ; Lo Expedition was intended. The bustle which oc currtel at Plymouth, which probably gave rise to the report, arose from a mistake, which was imme diately rectified. Yesterday morning his Royal Highness the Duke ofionx.had.'a long interview with I w KING, and,at ten o'clutik his MAJESTY, with his usual escort, left town for Windsor. Her MAJESTY and Princesses re ceived the visits of the Princess SOPHIA of GLOU CESTER, the Countess .of ELY, and Miss GOLDS-. WORTHY, and at twelve o'clock, accompanied by their attendants, set out for Windlior. His MAJESTY arrived at Windsor, frott London, yesterday, about twelve o'olock, and soon after visit ed , • Princess AMELIA. .. • Princess CHARLOTT.E.-Of WALES is expelled at 'Windsor . ; on a vi,it to their INIAJEsTrEs' and Prin cesses, and will remain there some days. His Royal HighnesS the Prince of WALES i 5 also expected to morrow at Windsor, when the Nobilty and Gentry will be gratified by seeing his itpyal Highness walk on the Terrace with his venerable and Royal Pa rents, Wednesday evening their MAJESTIES had the Duchess of YORE, Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES, and a select pity to tea and cards. 'Yesterday morning the KING, QUEEN, Princesses AUGUSTA and ELIZABETH left town for Windsor. ,His MAJESTY went about ten o'clock, - and the QUEEN and PRINCESSES about twelve. The Delie Of YORK, and Princess SOPHIA of GLOUCESTER, paid their respeas to them previous to their leaving Wednesday the Doke of CAMBRIDGE arrived at Windsor, and immediately went to PrincessAult- Lia's house, where he spent the day with his Royal Sister. 'PrinceisAstEms, is not worse, but remains ti the saute state she has been for some time. A neutral yes:lel / landed at Dover, from Dieppe, on Wedneway last, an English Gentleman of the mime ! 11 FICIATi. He brings no political news, plaiting of the leasi consequence having been lately eiveci front Spain or Portugal. The road from I.l , nien to D:eppe, he says, was' crowded with wag rons, loaded with . corn, intended for exportation to Digland. In consequence of an application from the Gen tlemen of the Stock Exchange to the Bank of 'Llland, to, advance the future payments for such o.llnium as should be given them in pledge, an an er was returned yesterday, through the medium of Mr. HASE, signifying that the Bank would accede to the application, and make all the payments ex telA the last ;- and that they would moreover extend the day of redemption of the Omnium to the 25 - 11 ()I January ' , ext. The usual per ceNage, will be lilowed the Bank for, the accomodation. It is said that the Four in-Nand Club have adopt -7d a new fashion in wearing their hair, and that it is now intended to resemble an inverted mop. This an appropriate mode, as it chews thatto arive an d drat' a carriage, is the roust suitable emplojratent. of :heir genius. NAVAL NEWS.

The Starling, for the Peter and Dageren, captured Oilober 8 and to. 1809, will be paid on board on.arriv.A, and recalled at No. 18, Clement's-ti n t, on 'Tuesdays and Fridays, for three months.

The following singular circumstance has occurred at Plymouth : On Monday evening the Union hoy was sent from the magazine at that port, with 250 barrels of gunpowder, and too barrels of ball cart ridges, to the Defiance, of 74 guns, in Cawsand Bay ; but, as she could not then take it on board, the boy returned up the harbour, with an intention of pro ceeding down early next . morning ; but about two o'clock fourteen French prisoners, who bad made their escape from one of the ships in harbour, got on board the powder vessel, secured the man who was watching her (named Gill) and stoQd out of the harbour unmolested; nor was she missed till her crew went to the spot where they moored her, to take her down into the Bay. The watchman at the magazine saw the vessel unmoored, but he thought it was by her own crew. The Gleaner ketch and Gambier cutter have sailed in pursuit of her, .but, at the wind was direaly fair at the time, and has con tinued so ever since, it is probable she has long ere this reached the French coast. It is said, that when Napoleon was at Boulogne with his new bride, he, as usual, put Several ques tions to the Commander in Chief, General -VAN DANIME, in presence of General SARRAZIN, relative to the state of the troops under his command. The answers not being exaelly consonant with truth, General SARRAZIN volunteered to cootradiet his Commander ;- but., instead of e►tcouragenrent, met with a severe rebuke from his master. He could not brook the affront, but Ittempted to remonstrate; upon which, he was ordered out of the Imperial presence, and put under arrest. It is added, that he was subsequently ordered to Paris, from whence he expeeted to be transferred to a dungeon for life, and that such were his motives for this tardy emi gration. We are happy to hear that the negotiations with the French Government, for-an exchange of pri soners, are likely to have . a very satisfactory issue. It is said that a regular cartel will be immediately established between the two countries. A baker, near Manchester-square, was fined at Marlborough-yesterday, half a crown an ounce' for 11 ounces short of weight, in five quartern loave.;. Monday an inhabitant of New Bond-street was fined l os. with costs, for placing nuisances on the foot pavement. The quantity of haddocks taken at Anstruther on Wednesday se'nnight, was so great, that they were sold at 2s. 6d. the long hundred, and 60 of them,' which were'bought for Is. 3d: and carried to Edin burgh, actually weighed 3ib. each, L'AITIW STATES. THE FLORIDAS. BOSTON, MAY 213.—We have thrown some spe culative observations on this subjea on many for mer occzysions, presuming on the great intimacy be tween England and the Junta, that previous to the dissolution of the latter, they would bequeath to their British friends East and West Florida : as yet we know nothing to the contrary. But the report now is, that this colony has been ceded to France by CHARLES the IVth, previous to his having been dethroned--probably along with Louisiana. It is further added, that Frenchmen in the United States, ready and willing, are invited by the French Government to resort to the Floridas, where they will receive portions of land gratis : further, that several accepted the invitation, and passed on to their place of destination. And furthermore, that an Ametican Gentleman, like many others, had been not long since with the Governor of East Florida, to procure grants of lands, &c. ; and that he was in formed by his Excellency, that be was only loam tenens, keeping possession till a French Governor had arrived ; and that in the mean time he could do nothing—that heretofore lie held it for the old King, and as Spain now fell into other hands, he felt it his duty to comply with the orders of the King of Spain. If all this be true, and not at all improbable, we are in a great way. We are placed exactly in the gulph stream—between Scylla and ClwrybJis—be tween the British and French, who will have it al ways in their power to intercept the.commerce and destroy the f►ee intercourse between the United States and West Indies —(August a Citron.) • YEW-YORK, MAY lg.—Yesterday arrived at this port the fast sailing brig Camilla, Capt. SHALER, from St. Sebastian's, which port she left on the tith of April. Mr. JOHN Gutswot.n came out in the Camilla, bearer of dispatches from General ARMSTRONG to our Government. Gen. DOMOTIZR had been appointed by the Em peror, Minister to the United States. It was not known whether he was to succeed Gen. TURREAU, or that he is appointed to some special mission. He had taken passage in the Francis, with the Russian Minister, and was to,sail from Rochelle for Phila delphia about the I oth of April. Gen. ARMSTRONG had talten up the ship Sally, Capt SCOTT, lying at St. Sebastians, to take him self and family to America. He would embark from Bordeaux about the Ist of June. The Sally was to proceed to Bordoux proteaed by twd pass ports. _ _ _ We consider the report, that BUQNAPARTE has invited General IViokaw to return: tp France, as one of. the idle rumours of the day. NAPOLEON'S jealousy of a rival is not so easily removed. Besides which, he did not want him—he has now more war instruments than work for them. General MOREAU is domesticating latuself in this country. In ad dition to the purchase of estates, he has accepted the Vice-Presidency a a Benevolent Institution' in New York. The trench Min ister RRRALT, 1, l earn , visit this town before his return to Fiance. TRAVEILINO, ANECDOTES OP .BUONAPARTE.--- BUOMAPARTR, during his last journey, did not allow his new wife more rest than what he himself took; scarcely was she. arrived into a town, that he com pelled her, however tired, to get in a barouche, and to visit with him fortifications, dock-yards, basons, canals, &c. There is hardly any doubt that he will ere long make her leap ditches with him, was she even to break her neck in_tlyitexrcise„as did Genelal BERTRAND. It is thus that man strews his love. Among other instances, in Dunk)rk, .where be arrived at one o'clock., P. M. he hastened to get into a barouche with her, and visited, always With her, all the works in, the harbour and on the forti fications, till half-past six: . in the. evening ; she was then compelled to hear part of.the speeches of rite different authorities*; and at nine o'closzk at night . , after allowing her one hour for dinner r:nd dressing, he sent 'her to assist at a fide, whi,h the town had prepared in her honour. • - Such, is nearly every day the life of that •3oung Princess.—, NAroLsoN did not assist at the-fete pre:pared for him by the City of Bruges, but, as usual, he sent there the Empress, who, by the amenity of her man ners, made the good Flemish people forget her hus band's- unpoliteness. She-gave 6000 frOcs to the poor of the town. On entering the Cathedral, she could not, although in Co iTpany with her stern hus band, avoid kneeling with the utmost cO::tkition by the mouldering bones of herancestors, the ancient Sovereigns of those countries, whose tombs have been broken by the Revolutionists. The fiagtneuts have been since, gathered in that Cathedral, and BUONAPARTE, no doubt, by way Of expiation for the crimes of his former friends, has given 2 l2,Oco francs to repair those repositories of departed great ness.. The Bishop olGust4Y, in conaratulriiing the new Empress on her marriage with dapot.g‘m, said to her, among other things—" As sociated as you are to the destinies of w Emperor, h,se gl o ry i s . more vast than t: e empire is extensive, you appear among us in the Spring, that smilng-,Aurora of the yeir, adorned like it with ,youth and graces, and nature strews you!' footsteps with flower.

He had been, we are informed, 2 4 years in the T'rench army, and as he saw upstarts every day preferred, and had very little chance 01 being raised himself, he resolved, it is said, to quit a country, the government of which is likely to continue only during the life of its present r uler, and then perhaps to relapse into all the horrors that marked the Revolution.

He is not, like most Frenchmen► 3 prefendtr to univer3al knowledge and talents, f)° does be boast of his own exploits, or endeavour to depreciate those Of others. He speaks of Buoro." Pet RTE with apparent impartiality, and withou t any observable bias of resentment. He considers him as the first General of the age. Souvr, in opinion, is the second; and ihe Archduke enaaLs the third. General SARRAZIN was on duty when Buorlit - PARTE,and his new Empress were at Boulogne. Ar ter viewing the fortifications, and every thing inter' esting in the town, they went to the heights to la lo a peep at the ocean. The Austrian Princess had 3 telescope in her band, and observing a vessel cruiz' ing, at some distance, she inquired what it was' and was informed that it was an English vessel. ceiva-n% five others in the harbour, she asked wha t • they were, and was told that they belonged to 11 16 Emperor. She then asked why the five vessels I not go and take that belonging to the Enemy. At this moment BUONAPARTE, who L:d shown a rei- ! less impatiehce, could restran his feelings no longer , but snatching the glass out of her hand, * exclaitned. in the French Lingnage, with great impetuosity, " because the wind i, not fair !''
